German Christmas Ornament: Good Luck Pfennig

1400

The "Lucky Penny" in Germany is known as the glueckspfennig, the lucky pfennig, a coin from before the days of the Euro. This little guy's leaving nothing to chance with a horseshoe around his neck and a glueckspfennig stuck into his four leaf clover cap. Hand made from wood with a real pfennig coin and painted by artisans in Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains. This good luck charm stands just about 3.5" tall.
